Anyone with Black interior w. Ash trim? Pics pls!
Hi - just wondering if anyone here has or has seen an black interior with the ash wood trim. If so could you please post some pics? I'm considering either a Deep Sea Blue metallic or Space Gray. I just hope that the interior won't be too dark.
I'm just not sold on the Ivory (too dirty to quickly, esp as I wear jeans a lot on the weekends) and the other interior colours aren't doing it for me. Wish they had an option for a nice auburn. And nappa for the non-ivory colours. Oh well, they need to add something for 2010/2011, right? cheers! |

I've gone for the space grey with black leather.....but brushed aluminium trim to break it up a bit! I have seen the ash wood and it looks really nice.
Just one thing to note...the roof lining comes in light grey as standard and i don't think that goes well with the black interior so i went for anthracite as an extra. (3 weeks 'till i get mine then i can post some pics). |

I'm really tempted to go full on and get a loaded 3.5i. It is spendy though at about $75 plus taxes! |

It is important to understand that most pics you can find have been taken with a flash. The flash however completely destroys the natural look of the combination. On most pictures I have seen before the black leather looks more dark gray instead of black (which is not at all true). In real life the leather really is black. |

Hi aheinz_71
I notice you dont have the smokers package also, do you have a extra 12V socket in passengers footwell? If so do you have a cap over the socket, like the one in the arm rest, as I dont. Just wondering Thanks John |

Stunning - I think I'm sold. Now theres just the matter of choosing Blue or Space Gray exterior. I saw Havana today and its quite nice (love the Alcantara, but the ivory looks way too tough to keep clean!)

At first I thought about space gray, but my wife adviced me to take orion silver and she is absolutely right. The ash wood fits perfectly with the orion silver... If you need to choose between Blue or Space Gray I would probably go for Space Gray. I have seen the Blue and it is a beautiful color but IMHO it needs to good contrast with the interior which would mean going for the white interior (not an option for me due to the reasons you already mentioned) I have also seen the Space Gray and it also looks very nice (definitely more stylish than a "simple" black or silver). All in all, not an easy decision and I don't want to make it harder for you, but I would also seriously consider Orion Silver. Both colors you mentioned will go well with black/ash trim interior. |

I checked today (had to use a flash light to find the extra socket - didn't realize it is there (though I knew it must be there)). No, I don't have a cap and quite honestly I don't think it needs one since it stands "upside-down" - there is no chance something will fall into it and having a cap pointing down would be a nuisance when using it. I believe this was a design decision from BMW (and if you ask me a wise one) |

My only concern is that a lot of cars will be ordered with the blue so it may look common after a while. Normally I like white, but in this case I believe the Z4 needs a darker color to make its line pop. Regardless, I'll get it in Deep Sea Blue and Kansas leather, extended, + Ash Grain trim. |

I'm going to look at another today. No Blue/Black here Canada as far as I've been able to tell. Space/Black is the most likely unless a special order is placed (which almost certainly pushes this to a 2010MY rather than 2009 -- better for resale value maybe?!) The bummer is that would push the car past summer. Boo! |

It looked like the interior was ivory white, but when I read ordering spec's that's available only with the ZWP option package, which requires Mojave,*Metallic paint color.
I was doing some searches yesterday to see what was available at a number of dealerships and there were quite a few Deep Sea Blue/Ivory White Z4's out there. |

To each their own, but I quite like it. It looks more elegant than the aluminum which is a bit boy-racer IMO. In person, the wood seems pretty dark and slightly grey which is nice
It does make for a pretty dark cabin with the anthracite headliner, but some would argue this is cozy! cheers |

The thing to bear in mind is that only the standard Satin Silver trim extends right across to the passengers side.

Here you go. Its basically just plastic trim. I like the way it flows from pretty much the passenger door right round to the drivers door and gives the interior a bright appearance. I was initially worried it would be too much and too bright.
